It's up to Hamster, the company that does the Arcade Archives. And they'd have to get licensing from Sega and Namco as well. Which might be a long way away because they've never touched their arcade games.

So yeah, I'm thinking of getting a Nintendo Switch for my birthday since I heard more games are coming out this year. I saw my brother-in-law got a Switch and he's been playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild for a while. My sister and my bro-in-law wanted to get Switch because more games are coming out this year (I think there's an upcoming Kirby game coming soon, but I haven't watched the recent Nintendo Direct video yet). I'm not sure which games that I wanted to play but if anyone knows any current or upcoming games, please let me know.

While it could be another Gen VII game, I honestly hope it's Gen VIII. Sun/Moon had a lot going for it, but it also had a lot of stuff that got under my skin and pissed me off. I'm hoping that the Switch's high technical fidelity, as well as its seated position of a handheld/home hybrid, means they can pull out the stops and make what's at least the most technically impressive Pokemon game to date. If anything, the combat should hopefully look amazing; we haven't had a Pokemon battler since Battle Revolution, and if this game pushes the Switch to its higher ends, we could get battles that look better than they ever have. And since the fundamentals are, for the most part, most likely not going to change, that's really the best we can hope for at this point, which I'm all in favor of.

That being said, they better bring back Triples and Rotation, or I'll be steamed [hams har har funnee]. I'm not saying they need to exist in the single player campaign, but if this is going to be the most technically impressive Pokemon title to date, as well as the definitive go-to Pokemon battler (possibly nudging out Showdown if it's beautiful and accessible enough), I want all of the multiplayer options to be there. You don't have the technical limitations excuse with Sun/Moon. Don't fuck this up, GF.

Not gonna lie, Labo looks damn cool. I'm sure kiddos in its intended demographic will eat it up. Parents likely spend inordinate amounts of cash on K'Nex/Lego robotics kits anyways, so really, this seems like a less offensive option especially if there's already a Switch in the household. Can't say Nintendo isn't getting any mileage out of their little console. It's a nifty idea and clearly nobody saw it coming!

But yes, I cannot wait for the onslaught of 30+ year old Mountain Dew slurping, Dorito dust farting men complain about why this concept insults their sensibilities.

I don't mind it in concept, but keep in mind that if children are the target demographic, odds are not all of them will treat something as flimsy as cardboard with the best care.

It's kind of hard to shake the thought that it's overpriced, especially considering that you're essentially paying for the bundle of the software and the cardboard, yet technically speaking you're just paying for the software given the tutorials on how to make the peripherals without the kit that'll inevitably pop up anyway. I guess I'll have to give Nintendo props for taking measures to prevent people from getting too thrifty, but 70 bucks for 5 minigames seems a bit much, though I guess to be fair we don't know yet if it'll have compatibility with any future games. I don't hold my breath based on what we've seen so far, but I can see the Robot Kit having potential as a peripheral for ARMS or something at the very least.
